Culture & Christianity: The Allen Jackson Podcast

The votes have been counted, but what do the results really tell us? In this episode, Pastor Allen Jackson reflects on what the election revealed about the state of our nation, why it is crucial for Christians to be engaged in culture, and how the Church should respond to the results. “Politicians are not the spiritual leaders of our nation," Pastor Allen stated, "The spiritual leadership begins in our homes. And then the spiritual leadership extends to our churches.” What if we saw the outcome of the election as a call to action rather than a cause for anxiety?—It’s up to us to bring God’s truth back into our culture. It may feel like an impossible assignment, but there’s much we can do.

What if the roots of our nation’s turmoil can’t be reached by policy or protest? In this episode, Pastor Allen Jackson asks why we keep searching for solutions in politics when the root issues run much deeper.

Is it possible that a simple shift in your prayer life could help spark the change we all hope to see?

A jihad against Judeo-Christian values isn't a future threat—it's already here, and most of the Western Church is unaware. Pastor Allen sits down with journalist Chris Mitchell, Pastor Gary Hamrick, and Yair and Anna Pinto to name the threat plainly: the same hatred aimed at Israel for generations is now turning toward Christians, and silence in the pulpit has left believers unprepared. But this isn't a conversation about what we need to fear—it's about what God is calling us to face with courage and conviction. —It’s up to us to bring God’s truth back into our culture.

Why do so many people who call themselves Christians not live like Jesus? Researcher and author Dr. George Barna joins Pastor Allen Jackson to talk about what decades of data reveal about the American Church. Barna explains how our worldview shapes every decision we make, and why so many believers may be building on a foundation that will one day crumble. "If you reject even one of those seven beliefs, the probability of you then going on to build a full biblical worldview drops to 2%," Barna said.

What happens when a Christian journalist starts digging into the forces shaping the evangelical church? Megan Basham, Christian author and journalist, joins Pastor Allen to discuss the research behind her book Shepherds for Sale, what she uncovered about progressive and secular influence in Christian institutions, and the ways fear of man and cultural pressure can lead to compromise. She also opens up about her cancer journey and the perspective it has given her on suffering, faith, and standing firm in what matters most. This is a powerful conversation about journalism, courage, faith, and the battle to preserve a biblical worldview.

What happens when Christians choose to engage the culture instead of retreating from it? This special episode looks back at highlights from the 2025 Culture & Christianity Conference, featuring Pastor Allen Jackson, Rob McCoy, Brandon Tatum, Pastor Gary Hamrick, and Dr. Neil T. Anderson. Revisit some of the most powerful moments and thought-provoking messages from these speakers as they challenged Christians to stand firm and live out their faith in the culture. Watch the highlights from last year’s conference and hear the messages that continue to matter today.

"What does it look like to live out your faith boldly when the culture around you rejects biblical truth? In this special re-air of Culture & Christianity, Pastor Allen revisits his conversation with Charlie Kirk, a courageous young man who was willing to take his biblical worldview into the public square and engage anyone willing to have the conversation. As we remember Charlie one year after his death, Pastor Allen reflects on Charlie’s courage and the importance of Christians refusing to retreat from the places God has called them. Our faith belongs in the public square—in our workplaces, schools, communities, churches, and every sphere of influence God gives us. May this conversation remind us that we don't have to be belligerent or violent to be bold. We simply need the courage to say yes to God and faithfully carry the hope and truth of Jesus into our generation."

The spiritual world is real—and ignoring it doesn’t make us immune to its influence. In this episode of Culture & Christianity, Pastor Allen Jackson explores angels, demons, the Holy Spirit, spiritual warfare, and the unseen forces shaping our lives. He explains how to recognize the difference between conviction and condemnation and why practicing “spiritual hygiene” matters. Rather than living in fear, we’re called to know God’s Word, recognize His boundaries, and walk closely with the Holy Spirit.Links to books:Your Identity In Christ by Allen JacksonThey Shall Expel Demons: What You Need to Know about Demons--Your Invisible Enemies by Derek PrinceVictory Over the Darkness: Realize the Power of Your Identity in Christ by Neil T.
